"Galileo s Idol" offers a vivid depiction of Galileo s friend, student, and patron Gianfrancesco Sagredo (1571-1620). Sagredo s life, which has never before been studied in depth, brings to light the inextricable relationship between the production, distribution, and reception of political information and scientific knowledge. Nick Wilding uses the figure of Sagredo to open a new window on Galileo and new questions and techniques for the study of science. The result is a book that turns our attention from actors as individuals to shifting collective subjects, often operating under false identities; from a world made of sturdy print to one of frail instruments and mistranscribed manuscripts; from a complacent Europe to an emerging system of complex geopolitics and globalizing information systems; and from an epistemology based on the pious problem of eternal truths to one generated through and in the service of playful, politically engaged, and cunning schemes.
